ST. LOUIS , Aug. S3. A fpeclal to the
Fost-Dlspatch from Fort Worth , Tex. , says :
Superintendent 0. W. Case of the Pacific Ex
press company bos notified the state officials
that , beginning today , his company will
comply with the recent ruling of the state
railway commission to pay the war tax on
express matter destined to points In Texas.
The nous conveyed In the above dis
patch una coullrmed at the headquarters
of the Pacific Express company In this city
yesterday afternoon. In speaking of the
action taken In Texas a leading official of
the company said : "This payment of the
war tax on express matter shipped over our
line applies only to Infra-state business In
Texas. It ilocs not at all apply to Inter
state business. The company will pay the
Mar revenue stamp only on express matter
chipped from ono point In the state of Texas
to another point In the same state. This
action was taken by the Pacific Express
company , as well as by other express com
panies doing business In Texas , In order to
void a conflict with the state authorities.
"They threatened to make us pay for the
Trar revenue stamp tax , or else subject our
express rates to a radical reduction. Wo
thought It better to make a concession re
garding the payment of the revenue stamp
tax than to Live our rates reduced , or to
start a lengthy litigation. So far as I know
now no action of this kind Is contemplated
In the other states In which the Pacific Ex-
prcaa company operates. "

NIAGARA FALLS , N. Y. , Aug. 23. There
Were twenty freight traffic managers , all
connected with lines under Vanderbllt con
trol , In conference hero to-day. Plans for
the curtailment of general expenses and for
the consolidation of local agencies as far
ns consistent wcro discussed. It was stated
that In. cities where there were a number of
offices connected with various Vanderbllt
lines a general agency would be established.
The appointments of W. F. Wilson as gen
eral manager of freight lines operating over
the West Shore ; F , L. Pomeroy as general
manager of freight lines operating over the
New York Central , and G. C. Street to bo
general accountant , were confirmed.
Ilrfrlirorntor Can.
A Kansas City dispatch says that the
Banta Fe management has made the costly
discovery that center Ice tank refrigerator
box cars are a failure. The discovery Is
costly for two reasons. The first Is that
during the three years the cars have been
in service on the road there has been a loss
in the amount of Ice used on the basis of
the amount used In the ordinary refrigerator
cars. The second Is that to save further
loss In this way the cars are to be remod
eled at a cost of several hundred dollars
each. The cars have now two doors , one
at either side of the Ice boxes , and this
epaco will have to be filled In and another
door cut In the center of the car. This
work , together with the building of the new
Ice boxes , will male : the work of remodel
ing the cars expensive. Two hundred and
fifty of the center Ice box refrigerator cars
were purchased by the Santa Fe about three
years ago. The Ice box was built In the
center of the car , with space for produce
at either side , and It was said that the
arrangement was economical la the use
of Ice. But the Santa Fo management has
found out differently. Instead of being
economical , the arrangement has been
costly , as It requires more Ice to keep pro
duce than In the ordinary csts with the Ice
boxes built nt either end. The center Ice
box Is now to bn torn out and the new Ice
boxes built at each end.

MARKESON CASE GOES OVER
South Omaha Man Accuncrt of At
tempting to Corrupt Juntlce
AVliltc Gcta Continuance.
On the request of his attorney , J. B. Kel-
kcnney , the preliminary hearing by Justice
Foster of the bribery case against Mlkb
Markeson , the South Omaha saloon man
charged with attempting to corrupt Justice
of the Peace Albert S. White , was continued
until September 6.
The strong point in the evidence against
Markeson is said by Justice White to be the
fact that $15 was given by Markeson to him
In the presence practically of two witnesses ,
who were in an adjoining room , and are sale
to have overheard the conversation. Justice
White says overtures of this character had
previously been made to him and he- set a
trap for Markeson , and that Markeson fell
Into It by pretending to be the most in
fluential of a certain coterie In South Omaha
and offering to pay him $15 per week If he ,
the justice , would bo lenient with a certain
class of offenders brought before him.
Markeson , according to White , hac !
oven offered him as much as $1,000 before.
Whlto says further that an effort is being
niado to clean out an alleged gang of fllm-
Hammers and birds of prey , who make their
nests In the saloons of a particular location
and whoso chief meat Is the stockmen who
drive Into South Omaha.
Deputy County Attorney Day objected at
first to any continuance , but Mr. Kelkenncy
pleaded that it was necessary to have two
important witnesses present for the defense ,
ono of whom Is in Iowa. Mr. Kclkenney
wanted a continuance for thirty days , bui
a compromise was allowed by Justice Fos
ter with respect to the time and two weeks
were agreed upon by the two attorneys.

attracted by his cries , ran to his assistance.
Half an hour later the two footpads met
T. L. Wllderman , a stranger in the city , ul
Fourteenth and Capitol avenue , and held
him up by displaying their knives. From
Wllderman they secured $28 , a watch and
his coat and est. Two other men they
held up later proved to be hoboes like
themselves and they secured nothing from
them.

some of the stolen money for liquor ant !
